I've changed the default templates and settings to use ksdevice=bootif
and ipappend 2 in the devel branch.
This should simplify some multiple network setups.
Heads up :)
If you do not like this option you can still use your old settings file
or edit /etc/cobbler/settings to use whatever you like, as well as
editing the templates used to generate the PXE configuration in
/etc/cobbler/pxe*.template
For those that are wondering what this is about, see the Fedora
documentation:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f9/en_US/sn-Installer.html
5.3.3. Multiple NICs and PXE Installation
Some servers with multiple network interfaces may not assign |eth0| to
the first network interface as BIOS knows it, which can cause the
installer to try using a different network interface than was used by
PXE. To change this behavior, use the following in |pxelinux.cfg/*|
config files:
IPAPPEND 2
APPEND ksdevice=bootif
The configuration options above cause the installer to use the same
network interface as BIOS and PXE use. You can also use the following
option:
ksdevice=link
This option causes the installer to use the first network device it
finds that is linked to a network switch.
